Postfix Connection timed out port 25

Postfix Connection timed out port 25
Hi Guys,

I'm Brazilian and I am facing a strange issue.
I cannot send email to some mailservers and show me the bellow error:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@142358 postfix]# postqueue -p
-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------
70F4E108C4F86     5988 Tue Jul 12 15:27:11  dulcevilela@carvalhovilela.com.br
 (connect to mx.terraempresas.com.br[208.84.244.133]:25: Connection timed out)
                                         certidao@5protesto.com.br

           (connect to mx3.bol.com.br[200.147.36.13]:25: Connection timed out)
                                         claudinei.canei@bol.com.br
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can send and receive emails, but I cannot send to few mailservers as above message.
In my master.cf file I have:

submission      inet    n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
26      inet    n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
25      inet    n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
465      inet    n       -       n       -       -       smtpd

Also, port 25 is open in my firewall, and I haven't my IP's black listed.
I have DMARC, SPF, rDNS, TLS and NON-Open relay done without issue.

And here is a small mail log:
[root@142358 /]# tail -f /var/log/maillog:

Any idea about how to fix? It is like 'other side' has port 25 blocked, and I imagine that, because here in Brazil is not allow to send email using port 25, but, how to change?

Thanks!

Revert back the modifications you made to install TLS as you broke postfix when you did it.

I'm facing this problem before to install TLS, in my mind it it isn't the problem.

Are you sure that I need to revert? Will not work, because I can send/receive emails, but some mail server does not allow connection at port 25.

So you installed TLS and modded a broken postfix?

Restore the default installed configs. If postfix don't work don't stock pile the modifications that won't fix it.

Ok, can you tell me where I find the 'default config' of Postfix?

One more comment...

It isn't a TLS / postfix issue, look the log:

[root@142358 sysconfig]# postqueue -p
-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------
89CDE108C8710     6488 Thu Jul 14 15:33:52  dulcevilela@carvalhovilela.com.br
            (connect to mx.uol.com.br[200.147.36.15]:25: Connection timed out)
                                         ricardohilkner@uol.com.br

The other server does not accept email (IN) on port 25.

The port is closed/blocked. When I try a telnet I have the same answer:

[root@142358 sysconfig]# telnet mx.uol.com.br 25
Trying 200.147.36.15...
telnet: connect to address 200.147.36.15: Connection timed out
[root@142358 sysconfig]#

Any idea?

Thanks!

Just a comment before to close.

Some Brazilian Mail Server does not allow connection at port 25 from IP's of my host / ISP.
As my host/ISP can't change it, I have 2 choices:
1- Contact each company/mailserver that is blocking my connections and ask to allow;
2- Change my current Host/ISP.

I choose to change my Host, and I am migrating to Interserver Wink

It's done!
